And why would it?
But is that really the case?
After all, this isnt really just another project x or z.
And this time it seems that things may be different.
Kindly allow us to explain.
And as for us readers?
The book ran for sixty issues from 2002 through to 2008 when it concluded.
Whilst being lauded with such plaudits is certainly nice, its no guarantee of a greenlight.
After all, we live in a world where scripts such as 2004sCatwomancan become a real movie.
The small screen is a big deal these days.
Shows likeThe Wire,Breaking BadandTrue Detectivehave slowly led an exodus of talent into the once-derided dominion of television.
This isnt a bad thing though.
From where were sitting, this property is made for the small screen.
Or, if it must be made, a TV series would be the only thing that would suffice.
When you think about it, the Spice Girls really were ahead of the curve.
All that stuff about girl power was dead on.
And shes barely got started with Hollywood yet.
The point is this.
If nothing else,Y: The Last Manis a tale of female empowerment.
With men all but extinct the story can be nothing but a tale of female dominance.
Y, however is different.
So what old bean?
How many great video games has Shakespeare created, for example?
And youd be right (apart from maybe the Shakespeare thing; thats just nuts).
So the guy can do TV.
Aptly enough, weve left this shining star as a finale.
It has an ending.
And what an ending.
As he says: Thats storytelling, with a beginning, a middle and an end.
Something likeSpider-Man, a book that never has a third act, that seems crazy.
If you might do so, take our money by all means but know that youre surely dead inside.
So why is this such an important factor in adapting a property into a show?
No matter how long it takes, were sure it will be worth the wait.
